Whilst I think Leupold would be pretty decent if I ever had to make a claim, the problem would lie with the fact that Leupold only has one sole importer into this country, and they probably would give me grief if i tried to get them to do the warranty for me. The other main issue would be one of warranty. Still cant see it being too much for a scope though, as they are pretty light and compact. Although, I think your rates are slightly (just) cheaper. I have exchanged some Aussie hunting/fishing mags with another campfire member, and we were both shocked at postage prices. Apart from that, then I think the only problem would be the exorbitant postage to be paid.Beleive me, I know. considers the scope a firearm part, then I would probably need paperwork filled in from your end to get it out of the US. It may be problematic to send it if your govt. That way I only need to worry about hold over.īigsqueeze, I saw you ad in the classifieds, and seriously thought about it. Obviously not expecting same POI, but at least in line vertically would be nice. My 20 shoots slugs about 10" lower amd 6" to the right of the 222 POI at 25 yards. Was wondering if you can "regulate" the point of impact with the screw that holds the foresight assembly together. I did consider going with a 2-7 x scope, don't think it would be any problems if i did. I already have a hammer spur on this combo, so no problems there. Basically, the base has a post in the centre that a scope ring engages, and is then locke onto the post with hex screws. Can't remember what make they are, it escapes me at the moment. I still have the original rings and bases that came with the gun. Jeff (260Remguy) your adapter bases sound intriguing, I'll have to check them out (ordered from Brownells before with no dramas) love too, but still only 1x magnification. Re: Low powered scope for savage model 24. I generally do better with peep sights then I do with open rear sights. PS - I d&t a Savage 24v in 30-30/20 for a Lyman #66 receiver sight, the style for a Remington 760, as an auxillary sight.
I have 2 1.5-4.5x and 6 2-7x scopes mounted on my Savage 24s, mostly old Simmons scopes, #1053 and #1040, plus 2 Leupold Rifleman 2-7x33s with the turkey-plex reticle on a 24v in 223/20 and a 24f in 223/20.ĭon't forget to buy an offset hammer spur, in order to cock the hammer, for each Savage 24 that you plan to insall a scope on. These sit very low, compared to other brands/styles of grooved receiver adapters that are on the market.īrownells sells the B-Square adapters for $33, their part # 122-000-011. On the RF 24s, I use the B-Square 3/8" dovetail to Weaver adapters with Leupold QRW rings. Although I like Warne QR rings, I don't like the fact that the cross-bar falls out so easily. On the CF 24Vs and 24F, I use the Weaver #74 1-piece base and Leupold QRW rings. 223 is 1:14 so stick to 55grainers or less, at least mine likes that weight or less.I have several Savage 24 combination guns and like them pretty well. 22lr chamber adapter will add another nice little feature to take small game with.īy the way the twist rate on the. That will make a nice survival/foraging/trapping gun in my book. I plan on having a decent gunsmith take both barrels down to 18" recut the choke threads, put a peep on it and cerekote it. The 223 over 12 has been my go to gun for trapping this season. I don't plan on selling either one and I paid a chunk more than your$325.00. 223 over 12 and an older wood stocked 30/30 over 20 game. I have now redeemed myself and picked up an identical. Like a fool, I sold it shortly after buying it as I didn't use it much. I bought one new in 2003 and they stopped making them around that time. It is matte black with a synthetic stock.I would jump on that one. I found one for $325, I am thinking it is a good price. What is a good price for one of of these? I sold one a few years go and can't remember what I got for it, I am thinking I sold it for $350 or so.
